I'm also upset about Elbox, but people know this already.
 
The thing is, they don't state anywhere on their website or press releases that the Spider (2) does not include a licence for Poseidon. They hardly even say that it uses Poseidon. When you ask them about that, they just say that it didn't /fit/ in the press release for space reasons (?).  
For me, this is a clear attempt to cause misinformation to the end user (who is then angry about it and its his good right to be so). Elbox gives the impression that the Spider is cheaper than other solutions, as the users don't see they have to spend some extra money for the registration. Quite a lot of money for buying the cheap PC cards and just sticking a new label on it.
 
Don't ask me how many support emails I received by people not knowing that an unregistered copy will stop working after a short time.
 
I am pissed about Elbox, and that won't change for a long time. However, Poseidon users are equally welcome.

There's one main reason, why I don't listen to what a Rat says: It stinks. I wonder, why in fables, liars are often represented as rats. Stay in your dream world, where Elbox rules the world. Ignorance is bliss. Don't try to waste my time.

You want something rude? I think, that somebody, who uses a "Rat" nickname on ann.lu and then pretends to be offended to be addressed by this very nickname, he chose by his own, is clearly utterly brainless. Dense. IQ lower than the room temperature. Do you understand? I doubt it.

Everybody knows, what you're trying to do here, Jacek. You're a twister. You take the words that people say and convert it into bullsh*t. Whenever somebody has a valid argument, you either ignore it, or go down to personal insult level. You deny the truth with every possible method. In every country in this world, people have a word that would describe your major character features. And it wouldn't be a friendly one.

Even in Poland. I know a lot of people from this country and they always behaved in a friendly and fair way. It doesn't seem to be specific to a nation that there will always be some assholes. There are assholes in Germany too, no doubt. (And before you start that: No, I didn't say that /YOU/ are an asshole -- that's something you've got to find out yourself.)

What did you ever do for the Amiga? Eh? Did you ever do something productive? Something creative? Or could it be possible that you might be a poor, frustrated slob without a girl friend, who only has one task in this world: to ruin other people's day?

You've got no idea on the things you're talking about. But you would never admit it. Example: You were indicating that Highway/Subway or Algor boards are using some Atmel 8 Bit USB Controller. That's complete bullshit. You also claimed that USB1.1 chipsets would not being produced anymore. That's also more than wrong.

Have you ever thought of doing some therapy? I believe there are people, who could help you.

Listen: I will send you back your EUR 20. All you have to do, is to delete your keyfile, deinstall my software and ask Elbox to provide the neccessary USB Stack of their own. And pray that we never ever meet in person.

My last post was not about Elbox nor their Mediator board nor the Highway. Please don't you start mixing things here aswell.

And about Elbox not attacking me: I am offended of being called a liar, cracker and pirate. Wouldn't you be, too?

Finally, this thread also was about the price of the Algor board which is on sale right now. The only aim Rat has, is to promote the Spider (and can you be sure that he isn't one of Elbox' at least indirect employees according to all his postings during the whole year?) and bash the Algor with wrong and twisted information. The software that is used to drive the Algor was written by me. So I do take it personally, if somebody writes that much bullshit all the time.

And about better hardware: I'll be giving away a free Poseidon registration for anyone, who can give a proof that the Spider (I or II) in an Mediator system is able to beat the Algor speedwise on an USB1.1 mass storage device (same CPU, same device).
